24:011:015 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath
           wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from
           thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

24:011:016 The lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of
           goodly fruit:  with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled
           fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

24:011:017 For the lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil
           against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the
           house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to
           provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.

24:011:018 And the lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: 
           then thou shewedst me their doings.

24:011:019 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the
           slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices
           against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit
           thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living,
           that his name may be no more remembered.

24:011:020 But, O lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest
           the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them:  for
           unto thee have I revealed my cause.

24:011:021 Therefore thus saith the lord of the men of Anathoth, that
           seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the lord,
           that thou die not by our hand: 

24:011:022 Therefore thus saith the lord of hosts, Behold, I will punish
           them:  the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and
           their daughters shall die by famine: 

24:011:023 And there shall be no remnant of them:  for I will bring evil
           upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

24:012:001 Righteous art thou, O lord, when I plead with thee:  yet let me
           talk with thee of thy judgments:  Wherefore doth the way of the
           wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very
           treacherously?

24:012:002 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root:  they grow,
           yea, they bring forth fruit:  thou art near in their mouth, and
           far from their reins.

24:012:003 But thou, O lord, knowest me:  thou hast seen me, and tried
           mine heart toward thee:  pull them out like sheep for the
           slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

24:012:004 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field
           wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the
           beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He
           shall not see our last end.
